I’m alive, guys! I’ve been missing over here, because (mom)life kinda took over… We’re currently staying at my family in The Netherlands and I’ve been spending a lot of time with friends and family. Also, my little one was sick for a while. There just aren’t enough hours in the day sometimes! I have been active on my Instagram (@Kizzyonline), but I haven’t gotten around to update the blog. Anyway, I’m here now. You probably know this already, but I feel like it would be wrong for me to not mention it: Sephora’s Spring Bonus Sale has started! 😀 The...

Hey there! I’m coming on here today to let you know that the Target Beauty Box is available! I know a lot of you like these sample beauty boxes just as much as I do.

Long time no see! In the time I was away, the kids and I flew to Europe to spend some time with grandma and grandpa before my eldest starts kindergarten. We’re actually still here (in The Netherlands, to be exact); will be staying here for a little while. 🙂 Today I want to tell you about these awesome new products that Wet n Wild released not that long ago. These are all permanent items that have been added to the existing line at drugstores, grocery stores, and mass retailers. They are definitely not limited edition. I’ve been trying these products...

I don’t post about beauty sales that often anymore. After a while of trying to keep up, I noticed that there are just way too many going on simultaneously. Covering all, or even just the big ones, became almost impossible for me. So now I just post the ones I think are really worth mentioning, like brand friends & family sales, QVC’s today’s special value or any MAC, Sephora or Ulta sales. 😀 The biggest sale at the moment is definitely Ulta Beauty 21 Days of Beauty for Spring 2017. It’s their biggest sale of the year: it lasts, you...

IT Cosmetics has a new foundation! It’s their first ever solid serum foundation and it happens to be the first one I’ve ever tried as well. 😀 A solid serum foundation is a serum with added pigments and SPF 50+ physical sunscreen, making it a full coverage, anti-aging foundation. It’s basically 3 products in one: a foundation, a serum, and a sunscreen, conveniently housed in an easy to store and travel-friendly compact. This type of skincare/foundation has been insanely popular in Asia and is now making its way to the rest of the world. Pretty cool! IT Cosmetics calls their...

Packages in the mail…who doesn’t enjoy receiving them? I sure do! Every now and then Influenster sends me their VoxBox and I love it! This time it was their Fierce VoxBox and it had 5 items. See what I got below. 😀 • Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly Good old vaseline! My parents used the heck out of this stuff when I was growing up. Haha! • Carefree Acti-Fresh Pantyliners, these will for sure be used. • Madam C.J. Walker Brassica Seed Oil I love a good hair oil. I used it every day, can’t wait to try this one....

I have finally subscribed to ipsy. After months and months of contemplating and watching everybody’s goodies on blogs and YouTube, I finally caved and got a subscription myself. I first signed up for a trial bag through my friend Sheyla from Her Cryptic Life, which really pushed me over the edge. I really liked what I’d received and for $10 a month is a pretty sweet deal! Especially if you’re into samples and trying new stuff like I am. So now I have a subscription (which I can cancel at any time, of course.) and I’m really happy with it....

I’m so bad at these empties posts! I keep forgetting to save the empty packaging. So what you see here, is not everything… Some of my empties from the past 3 months ended up in the trash before I could show them to you. Oops! I promise I’ll do better next time. 😀 From left to right: • Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer Lip Vinyls – a plumping lipgloss with ultimate shine (found these at TJ Maxx, they are not sold anymore). • Ahava Clinical Skinpro Calming Facial Moisturizer – helps relieve irritation and redness for intolerant skin. • Glisten...
